Yes you can. I'd check the valve guides for wear while you're at it though. If the valve guides are bad a new seal isn't going to be a long term fix.
Ballpark estimate is $100 per hour labor plus parts, the new valve guides price.
If it smokes only on start up, and then quits smoking in a few minutes then the valve seals are bad, and they fit over the valve stem and down onto the top of the valve guide. They stop oil from running down the valve stem and burned in the cylinder. They do not sell anything in a can that will fix that problem. You need to buy valve seals and have them installed by a trained mechanic. And they come in a plastic bag not a can. SORRY NO quick fix.
Either your valve stem seals are gone - valve guides or worst case senario piston rings gone - all expensive to fix.
Yes.Yes.
It is possible that oil is seeping past the valve guides and into the combustion chamber. If your are burning oil, this is more likely the cause. Replacing the worn our valve will fix the problem.?æ
It would cost $725 bucks
Three possibilities. Overfilled with oil. Worn cylinder or rings. Worn valve guides. On most smaller engines, it's cheaper to replace the engine or the short block. If the engine has overhead valves and the valve guides are worn, a short block won't fix the problem.
sounds like you need a serious rebuild the rings and or valve guides are shot.
Yes, the oil will be pushed through the valve guides and be burned resulting in the car smoking.
Broken rings, rings not installed on pistons correct, No valve seals Bad are worn valve guides.
NO... You MUST remove the heads and take them to a machine shop and have the valve guides replaced. No other way.
